BP Disaster Solved -- giganto pita....

I believe mine too is Royal - the pin in the 5C (yes, I had it backwards, was tired) is a rectangular piece like a key, with a small round pin that goes into a hole in the adapter that fits into the 5 MT adapter - The key part is almost worn off - I presume that I could make one, but this is one of those little things that would take forever and it's just gotta be pretty inexpensive compared to a day's work. I have heard of folks getting a bag of them somehow. maybe contacting Royal is the way to go.

My Royal 5C adapter works fine without the pin. Mine was just a straight pin, I think. It was hard to tell by the time I drove it out. I do keep a collet wrench handy, but rarely need it, and I've checked the fit of all my collets in my closer tube.

That's an excellent tip that I'll have to remember. Also, masonry bits are really easy to sharpen, even without a green wheel.

The cheapie sets of 5 (from 1/8 to about 5/16-3/8 -- 99c in, you guessed,

99c stores) will allow for progressive drilling, as well.

In this case, the only problem would have been their short length, altho I'm sure you can get pricey-er industrial ones much longer, as well as SDS shank, which are pretty long.

And actually, for non-critical bull work, you could just weld CR or even HR rod onto the shank!

--------- Additional thought for all us cheap screw machinists, a short 45 degree lathe boring bar makes a pretty good fly cutter holder.
